You carried the cardboard boxes up and down
Lookin' for some excuse to stay around
Eighteen with a bullet
So much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns

Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have our beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, we're still dreamin'

You took off your glasses and I didn't recognize you
You were so suddenly, utterly, beautiful
Back seat in a black car
There's so much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns

Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have our beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Yeah, we're still dreamin'
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have our beautiful moment
It wasn't meant to happen this time
Yeah, we're still dreamin'
Still dreamin'
